Slow Cooker Apricot Pork Roast
This Slow Cooker Apricot Pork Roast is a family favorite. The recipe is from my dearest friend Regina. She always seems to come up with these simple and delectable recipes. The perfect meal to come home to after a long, busy day. Try this soon and enjoy!
Crockpot recipes usually allow the meat to cook 8 hours on low which is perfect for my daily schedule. I have discovered for those that cook for a shorter amount of time I can use frozen meat to extend the time. I did just that with this recipe and it came out perfect! Most of it fell apart because it was so tender, which is just how I like it.
